USS Shenandoah (ZR-1) - Memorials

Memorials

Several memorials remain near the crash site. There is another memorial at Moffett Field, California, and a small private museum in Ava, Ohio.

The Noble Local School District—which services the area where Shenandoah crashed—has named its elementary, junior high, and high schools after Shenandoah. Their sports teams are named "The Zeps." Additionally, a truck stop located about 15 mi (24 km) away in Old Washington was named Shenandoah Plaza after the airship. The truck stop has since closed and is in the process of being torn down.
